Oh wow the Jays are on 4 Sports Net channels. What, SportsNet Connected is on four channels for 5 hours, plus a variation of Connected on 360?

As for how much people out here want to watch the Senators. There is a large amount of Sens fans. Not as many as the Leafs and Habs, but they are clearly the #3 fan base and aren't small. It seems people who didn't grow up in Habs or Leafs families are Senators fans.

Sportsnet East and Ontario have very similar programming schedules that Shaw Cable took off the east channel from their channel lineup. The only differences are the Senators and Leafs games, NFL games, and some MLB games.

The Blue Jays are on all four Sportsnet regional channels but, not everyone has that package that includes the other regional channels. Everyone has at least one of them, it is optional to have the other channels.
